We do take it as a point of pride. We also had the first Heisman winner ever.

"I join the judgment of the Court, and all of its opinion except Part I–A and some portions of the rest of the opinion going into fine details of molecular biology. I am unable to affirm those details on my own knowledge or even my own belief. It suffices for me to affirm, having studied the opinions below and the expert briefs presented here, that the portion of DNA isolated from its natural state sought to be patented is identical to that portion of the DNA in its natural state; and that complementary DNA (cDNA) is a synthetic creation not normally present in nature."
This sentence was italicized, and rightfully so. I've written a few small Go programs, but I haven't run into a problem where I thought, "A channel is definitely the right solution here." Yet I love and feel quite comfortable with shuffling data through big shell pipelines. Perhaps I'll think of a channel next time I'm reaching for a pipeline.
As you might expect, this is basically impossible for wide-domain MT because we don't have unambiguous representations of the meaning of every sentence, and we don't necessarily know how to combine them, and there's a lot of non-compositional phrases, and on and on.
However, if we restrict ourselves to one small domain, interlingua can work. For example, the KANT system [1] is an interlingua that is built for translating technical manuals for Caterpillar products (bulldozers and so on). The input has to be written in a restricted subset of English (Caterpillar Technical English), but then you can analyze it exactly with hand-written rules, and produce exact output in the target language.
So you're just identifying NPs and VPs in a sentence? So lets say I run your program, and I get NPs "Instagram" and "Facebook", and the VP "acquired." The question is, who did what to whom? Did Facebook acquire Instagram, or did Instagram acquire Facebook?
Second, I think you're way over-emphasizing the supposed slowness of CFG parsing. Yes, the complexity is O(n^3) in the length of the sentence, but in practice, n is usually small. Modern statistical PCFG parsers are fast.
"Even if their refusal was based on the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination, the Court still may draw adverse inferences against them in this civil proceeding. Baxter v. Palmigiano, 425 U.S. 308, 318 (1976)"
The way I read it (again, not a lawyer) is that you can't convict someone based on their refusal to testify, but this isn't a criminal proceeding. In civil matters the rules are different.
I've gotten into the habit of using incognito mode for most searches, and only staying logged in for things I think I'll want Now-based information for, like directions or information cards.
Things I use when the appropriate email arrives in my inbox: current flight schedules (plus approximate time to get to the airport); package tracking
One thing that totally surprised me: I had a reservation on OpenTable, and my phone buzzed with a notification that it was time to leave for the restaurant if I intended to make it on time
And to be honest, I haven't "done" anything to get this value. This is all information that arrives automatically. That is, Google determined automatically what I needed to know by indexing my email, my searches, and knowing where I am at all times. Make of that what you will.
